What is the saying that the fragrance is short and long?

People are most afraid of any unexpected misfortune, and incense is the most taboo:

The idiom "three long and two short" refers to an unexpected disaster or accident. People have no ability to predict the future, so they are most afraid of unexpected disasters. In addition, "three long and two short" and "two short and one long" are more like a Morse code, which transmits a set of signals.

And "Xiang" is a magical existence! The earliest speech was Xinxiang, that is, transmitting signals, such as smoke from the Great Wall, which was ignited to transmit military information. Now, "incense" is a consistent belief, and incense is also called burning incense and worshipping incense. Incense is to transmit the information of incense burner to Buddha, Bodhisattva, immortal and ghost! This is a symbolic function!

There is also a saying that people will receive incense after death, "three long" refers to three wick incense, and "two short" refers to candles. These are all sacrificial things, and people will naturally not benefit from these things when they are alive.

Precautions for extending data incense:

1, wear clean: It is predicted that you will go to the temple to burn incense on the first day, and you need to clean yourself the night before. Nerve is to wash away the dust on your body and make yourself tidy. The "neatness" here is not how luxurious you want to wear, but clean and tidy. Don't wear flashy and unconventional clothes.

2. Instructions for entering the temple: If anyone notices, in the main hall of a general temple, there is a gate between two doors and two small doors on both sides. Burning incense and worshipping Buddha is also taboo. It is not that monks and nuns had better not go through the middle gate, which is called an empty gate, and only monks can enter and leave. Children on both sides can be used by pilgrims, so pay attention to the door and the woman walks with her right foot. The man walks with his left foot. Never step on the threshold, it is disrespectful to the Buddha. Just jump in and cross.

3, the number of incense: burn incense and worship Buddha, and the number of incense is also exquisite. Three wicks pray for themselves, six wicks pray for two generations and nine wicks pray for three generations. Thirteen is an extreme, and thirteen wick incense is a high fragrance of complete merit. Is to burn incense and kowtow. This is also the highest specification. Generally speaking, it is better for me to worship Buddha three times.
